Amazon.com could sell 2.4 million Android tablets in 2012, only cannibalizing the company’s Kindle e-readers a touch, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. Amazon.com has not confirmed the existence of an alleged Android tablet computer, but that isn’t stopping one analyst from modeling unit sales for the erstwhile Apple iPad rival. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said he believes Amazon could sell 2.4 million Android tablets in 2012, following a late 2011 launch in time for the holidays. Munster is basing his information on a recent report by Creative Strategies analyst Tim Bajarin, who wrote that Amazon is aiming to release at least one tablet computer based on Google’s Android operating system in time for the holiday 2011 season.
